J. C. Bkad Again. Last Friday Rev.
James C. Read, unon petition of W. C
Johnson, was examined as to his mental
condition, and, upon the report of Dr. J.
w. Noma, the patient was adjudged
insane and committed to the asylum.
In the complaint and commitment it is
stated that Bead was born in buelby
countv. Kv.. SO years ago: that his
mother and a brother and probably also
a sister were insane; that the patient
has suffered from typhoid and malarial
fevers, aud wheu a child he was injured
on the head bv a stroke from agruo-noe
Bead was ituiuuiitleU to the insane
asylum the 18th of la t April, utter tiU
trial tor the altempUd robbery of the
First National bank, of East Portland.
A few months latter he was discharged
Irom ttie institution and came at ouce
to his home in this city. List Noveiu
ber he went to Nevada for the pu pose
of getting employment, where he would
not be hampered by his unfortunate ex
peiieuce in Oregou. But he was uu
successful, aud returned here about a
month ago. It is reported that he was
seen in California, Colorado and Kacsas
during his absence from here
Mrs. Read Also. Last week it was
discovered that Mrs. J. C Read had
passed several vweated" gold pieces
on our merchants. About itau worm
of coins, mostly 20s, haye turned up.
NothinK was done by the U. S. officials
in the matter and people would like to
know why. It was learned that Mrs.
Read had purchased a certain acid at
one drugstore and a second at another
the two making the only solution that
will dissolve gold. The coins were from
75. cents to 1.-50 'short." What was
done with the gold lakan off is not
known to the writer. A friend of the
family claims that "Rev" Read had an
influence over his wife and she did this
u nder his direction. The act of making
the coins short is not a criminal offense
but the panning ol same certainly is. To
hush up the matter Mr. Read was hus.
tied off to the Salem apyluin and Mr.
Read was not m ested. If he or she
had been without influential friends
they would have been arrested and
he at least sent to the pen where he
belongs.
Shot in Heao Eli Ilartle of New
Era, a woodchopper, was seriously, in.
j u red on Sunday while hunting. He
attempted to pull his Winchester rifle
through a picket fence the hammer of
which caught and the gun was discharg
ed, the bullet went through his mouth,
knocking out several teeth, and lodged
near base of brain . He was taken to
Gladstone hospital on Monday aftei noon ,
but bullet wus not found. He will
probably recover. He was not uncoil
sious at any time.
Kept Hotel Here. Mrs. Elizabeth
Fryer died in San Jose. Cal., March 8.
Mr. and Mrs. Fryer came first to Ore
gon in 1845 and settled at Oregon City,
where they kept a hotel, and Mr. Fryer
ran the ferry from Oregon City to the
to wn of Linn City, opposit- f Up to 1852 ,
it is said, he knew every resident of Or
egon. They moved to Polk county in
1852 and settled near Bethel. In 1886
they went to California, Mr. Fryer
and three children survive the mother.
DiED.-Leona Beatrice, bel oved dangh
